Bryan,TX – Kerry Beck, popular speaker at homeschool conferences, left the public school system to give her children a superior education through homeschooling curriculum . A few years ago as a public school teacher, she discovered that she had been teaching on the “Education Conveyor Belt.” At that time, she didn't even know what that was. “Each year I had a new crop of students and taught them the same skills as all the other fifth graders in our school. I knew something was wrong, but couldn't put my finger on it,” Beck admitted.

By the time her oldest child was ready for kindergarten, she knew she did not want her in the public school. Beck and her husband decided to enroll Ashley in a private Christian school. The first few years were okay, but the last two were the same horrors of the Conveyor Belt. When Ashley gave answers that weren't the textbook answer, she was told to rewrite her essay. “I told her I was proud of her answer because she spent time thinking for herself and lining up her answer with Scripture. Eventually I said, ‘Just write what the teacher wants,’” Beck said. That was her last year in the private school.

The next year was their first year of Christian homeschooling. The "public school teacher" in Beck came out. She decorated all the walls and had lesson plans for every hour of the day. Even though they had freedom to choose their studies and how they would educate their children, she was still on the Education Conveyor Belt.

Patiently, God showed her alternatives for her children's education, alternatives that are superior to the conveyor belt . Although she used a variety of methods to teach her children, Leadership Education was the most profitable. For the past 10 years, she experimented and implemented Leadership Education and completely jumped off the Education Conveyor Belt.

Conveyor Belt Education is provided by the government through public schools. Public education prepares everyone for a job, any job, by teaching them what to think . Public education historically existed to teach the poor so they could land a job. The poor had no other option, but public education. Today, most of America only receives a public education. Their education is set up like a factory: everyone in the class gets the same education at the same age from the same textbooks. They are tested the same and graded based upon the same scale, regardless of their individual talents, goals, interests, personal mission. Conformity is the name of the game in public education.

Beck knows the Conveyor Belt Education system well . . .She was a public school teacher for 6 years!

Professional education is anything from trade schools to law, medical & MBA schools. These programs create specialists by teaching them when to think . The professional system is similar to public education, but much more competitive. Once you are in the program and decide what you want to do with your life, you must hop back on the conveyor belt for several years until you receive another diploma. Of course this type of education is mandated so you can really learn your profession. Any of this sound familiar??

Leadership Education teaches students how to think and prepares them to be leaders in their homes & communities, as well as entrepreneurs, church elders and statesmen. This is the type of education that Beck and her husband wanted for their children. It encourages thinking outside the box, which is difficult for most Americans. It’s the same homeschool resources they are eager for others to have.

Throughout history, leaders have been mentored by tutors. Often, students moved to prep schools where they studied the classics by using the mentors approach. The mentor system creates leaders. Unfortunately, the leaders in America have been trained to be professionals and specialists - not leaders. Most of our nation consists of followers who do not have a problem with the system at hand. “To overcome this dilemma, we must train our children to be entrepreneurs and statesmen by the historically-proven methods for training leaders,” Beck emphasized.

Beck now offers her experience and homeschooling resources to those who are interested in jumping off the Conveyor Belt and raising leaders of their own.
